"Woe from Wit"- comedy in verse by A.S. Griboyedov. A work that made its creator a classic of Russian literature. The comedy combines elements of classicism and romanticism and realism, new for the beginning of the 19th century.

The comedy "Woe from Wit" is a satire on the aristocratic Moscow society of the first half of the 19th century - one of the heights of Russian drama and poetry; actually completed "comedy in poetry" as a genre. The aphoristic style contributed to the fact that she "went into quotations."

Museum autograph "Woe from Wit" (the title was forwarded by the author from Woe to Wit). 1st page

Plot:

A young nobleman, Alexander Andreevich Chatsky, returns from abroad to his beloved, Sofya Pavlovna Famusova, whom he has not seen for three years. Young people grew up together and loved each other from childhood. Sophia took offense at Chatsky for the fact that he suddenly abandoned her, went to St. Petersburg and "did not write three words."

Chatsky arrives at Famusov's house with the decision to marry Sophia. Contrary to his expectations, Sophia meets him very coldly. It turns out that she is in love with another. Her chosen one is a young secretary Alexei Stepanovich Molchalin, who lives in her father's house. Chatsky cannot understand "who is nice" to Sophia. In Molchalin, he sees only "the most miserable creature", unworthy of Sofia Pavlovna's love, unable to love passionately and selflessly. In addition, Chatsky despises Molchalin for trying to please everyone, for reverence for dignity. Having learned that it was such a person who won the heart of Sophia, Chatsky is disappointed in his beloved.

Chatsky delivers eloquent monologues in which he denounces Moscow society (whose ideologue is Sophia's father Pavel Afanasyevich Famusov) .However, there are rumors in society about Chatsky's madness, launched by an annoyed Sophia. At the end of the play, Chatsky decides to leave Moscow.

In the comedy, only 2 classical unities are observed: place and time (the action takes place in Famusov's house during the day); the third unity - action - is absent, in the work there are 2 storylines: Chatsky's love and the confrontation between Chatsky and Moscow society. The main idea of ​​the tragicomedy: the protest of a free individual "against the vile Russian reality." (A.S. Griboyedov).

Today we will talk about the famous tragicomedy in verse "Woe from Wit" by Alexander Griboyedov, the catchphrases (aphorisms) of which are heard by everyone. Most people don't even know where the common phrases they use so often come from. It's time to figure out why this play is so special.

A few words about the work itself and the plot

It was the satirical play "Woe from Wit" that instantly made its author, A.O. Griboyedov, a classic of literature. Written in 1822-1824 and first published in full in 1862, this comedy in verse proved that spoken language takes place in high literature.

By the way, the playwright managed to break one more rule - the trinity of place, time and action. In Woe from Wit, only the first two (place and time) are observed, and the action is divided into two parts: Chatsky's feelings for Sophia and his confrontation with the Moscow high society.

The plot is simple. Alexander Chatsky, a young nobleman, grew up with Sophia Famusova. They spent their entire childhood with each other and have always loved each other. But then the young man leaves for 3 years and does not even write letters. Sophia is upset, but soon finds a replacement for the failed groom.

When Alexander Chatsky returns to Moscow with a firm intention to marry the love of his life, a surprise awaits him: Sophia is carried away by Alexei Molchalin, her father's secretary. Chatsky despises Molchalin for reverence for dignity and servility and does not understand how such a pitiful person could win Sophia's heart.

Due to the bold speeches of the former lover, Sophia, irritated by the situation, gives rise to gossip that Chatsky is out of his mind. Frustrated, the young man leaves Moscow with the intention of never returning.

It is the protest of a personality, free from conventions, who rebelled against the rotten Russian reality, and is the main idea of ​​the tragicomedy.

When Alexander Pushkin suggested that "Woe from Wit" would be scattered into quotations, he looked into the water. Very soon the play became a national property, and often we do not even suspect that we are speaking in the words of Griboyedov's characters. The phrase "woe from wits" came into use precisely because of this play.

"Woe from Wit": winged expressions of the action of the first

You can quote the work from the very first words. For example, the phrase of the maid Liza "pass us more than all the sorrows and the lordly anger, and the lordly love" is worth a lot.

A favorite saying of lovers (especially young ladies who are late) also appears here for the first time. In a conversation with Liza, Sophia says, looking out the window: "Happy hours are not observed."

In high society, after the Napoleonic wars, the fashion for the French language reigned for a long time. But few people owned it at least average. This is what Chatsky makes fun of when he talks about mixing French with Nizhny Novgorod.

When Chatsky almost at the very beginning explains with his beloved, he tells her that his "mind and heart are out of tune."

Aphorisms from the work "Woe from Wit" include the common expression "it's good where we are not." So Sophia Chatsky answers when she asks him about travel.

When Mr. Famusov caught Molchalin near the door of his daughter's room, Sophia tries to find an excuse for her beloved: since he lives in their house, he “went into a room, ended up in another”. It happens to everyone...

Winged expressions from the action of the second

In this part of the work, many amazing expressions belong to Chatsky. Who has never heard or himself used the expression "fresh tradition, but hard to believe"?

"I would be glad to serve, to serve sickeningly" - utters the same Chatsky, who does not digest the servility in Mochalin's behavior.

“The houses are new, but the prejudices are old,” he states with bile and sadness.

Many aphorisms from the work "Woe from Wit" belong to Sophia's father, Mr. Famusov, who personifies the decayed Moscow society. “All Moscow people have a special imprint,” he says, and in this he is right.

The phrase “in my presence, foreign employees are very rare; more and more sisters, sister-in-law of the child ”, uttered by this character, has not lost its relevance until now.

Colonel Skalozub, talking about Moscow, characterizes the city with the phrase “distances of enormous size”. This winged expression stuck with a small amendment, and now you can often hear "huge distance" in everyday life.

Quotes from Act III

"Woe from Wit", the catchphrases of which everyone does not want to come to an end, take up a lot of space in this action.

It is Chatsky who owns the expression "a million of torments", just as the sarcastic "will not be good with such praise."

When Chatsky asks Mr. Famusov about the news, he replies that everything is going “day after day, tomorrow, like yesterday,” that is, everything is unchanged.

In "Woe from Wit" there are winged expressions about fashion. Arriving and seeing the invasion of fashion on everything French, Chatsky says that dressing not for the weather, “in spite of reason, in spite of the elements” is very unreasonable, and ridicules this “slavish, blind imitation”.

Common expressions from the fourth action

Aphorisms from the work "Woe from Wit" are concentrated in the last act. For example, when Chatsky, in upset feelings, indignant, decides to leave Moscow, poisoned by prejudices and gossip, forever. The young nobleman declares that he no longer travels to the capital, and shouts: "The carriage is for me! The carriage!"

Aphorisms from the work "Woe from Wit" can be continued with such an expression as "What a word is a sentence!", Which the author put into Famusov's mouth. It is this character who also owns the final phrase, which conveys all the rottenness of high society: "What will Princess Marya Aleksevna say?"

As you can see, aphorisms, catch phrases and expressions in the comedy "Woe from Wit" are found at every step, more precisely - in almost every line. The list given by us is far away. You can discover a lot of new things by reading this small work.

Posted by A.A. Bestuzhev: "I am not talking about poetry, half of them should be included in the proverb."

Many of Griboyedov's aphorisms entered everyday speech:

We use catch phrases, no longer thinking about their authorship.

Of course, quotes from "Woe from Wit" gained popularity not only thanks to the talent of Griboyedov. After the coup of 1917, the accusatory play was included in school curricula and theater repertoires.

Griboyedov's catchphrases given below are correlated with the characters in the play. We got their characteristics through catch phrases. There are eighty proverbs in total.

The headings contain the most popular, and, therefore, the most appropriate proverbs for a given person.
